Church Council Thanks You



Thank you to everyone who submitted names for potential Church Council members. We received 11 names. In the coming days Sallie Bullock and Pastor David will reach out to these folks, asking them to prayerfully consider their openness to serving. Once we have heard back from all 11 we will let you all know what the next steps will be. Please continue to pray, asking for the Holy Spirit's guidance in this process.



Join us for an evening of fellowship and BUNCO tonite, January 21st. Snacks/conversation begins at 6:30pm, BUNCO at 7:00pm. You are invited, but not required, to bring a snack to share and $1.00 for BUNCO.

Hope you can join us.

Barrel of the Month
Baby Care Kits for
Lutheran World Relief


A Baby Care Kit from Lutheran World Relief is like a promise. It says to that baby, “Your needs will not be neglected by this world. You matter to us.”

When you send Baby Care Kits, you provide encouragement by welcoming these little ones into an international community that cares. Baby Care Kits are distributed as part of emergency and relief efforts as well as part of LWR health initiatives to encourage women to seek prenatal care.

Shirley Dinger has been assembling Baby Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief for years. It is clear when you ask her about it that this is one of her passions. Each year, Shirley and a friend assemble at least 80 kits that will benefit mothers and children all over the world. Shirley is hoping we will all join her in this effort!

We will be collecting items for these baby care kits in the barrel through the month of March. For a list of needed items, please go to the following link: http://lwr.org/babycarekits



Urgent Need for Blood Donors

ChristChurch does not currently have a blood drive scheduled (sometime in April we will have one), but the Red Cross is facing a critical shortage of blood products and is reaching out to ask for help. If you are able, please donate blood now at a location near you or check out locations at the following: redcrossblood.org.


You can help ensure hospital patients receive the blood they need by making a lifesaving donation now. Please make an appointment to donate at a Red Cross donor center or blood drive near you. You can schedule an appointment at redcrossblood.org on the Blood Donor App or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
